I was thinking perhaps heaven sent power to his soul because God has decided he will be the person/soul to save the world. And they tapped into his sister in heaven to lend strength, which weakens him as it's used.... but I can't wait to see what explanation is given in subsequent books.

I was also curious about this. I wondered if he was channeling a "demon" that meant well (maybe Arthur if he is still around somewhere). The demon that Arthur battles in the Prologue asks Arthur, "You aren't quite human anymore, are you?" Sure Arthur is what the demons made him, but I still wasn't real clear what that meant.

I think what Haatim did can be considered a miracle especially since he was praying while it happened. As for the 'channelling' maybe he has some inner power that needed to be released? ? I don't know..just a thought.

I think it was both Divine Intervention and An Armour of God himself. Summoning or rather Channeling God, if you will, requires strong willed humans and definitely requires a lot of energy to be invested. And why not? We are fighting the Evil here!
